The New YORK POST – Winter is coming — and it’s bringing more incest and silver wigs.
HBO has released the first images of the first “Game of Thrones” spinoff series — and so far in the images, it looks like life’s a beach. Called “House of the Dragon,” the series will be set around 300 years before the events of “Game of Thrones,” and it will follow members of House Targaryen.
So, expect lots of dragons, silver wigs and dalliances that keep it in the family.
The first look at HBO's #GameOfThrones prequel series #HouseOfTheDragon, featuring:
